From reviewing the web it appears that for some reason the system gets confused and somehow links the sound card to the hard drive - besides
From the web it appears that this can be solved by adding the line:
Folks I've got a Lenovo laptop with what appears to be a Realtek sound card, possibly an ALC861VD, but no sound. the basic question of WHY? I need to figure out what to do to stop it because its causing a problem -- no sound. For example when I do a "aplay -l" I get: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC861VD Analog [ALC861VD Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo to the end of the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base however i have no such file on my 10.3 system. Now I do have a file called "sound" in that directory that contains the following: options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 # u1Nb.cOzUFd_gaWF:82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel do I just add that line to the end of the sound file? When I do I get truly lousy sound and "aplay -l" **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC861VD Analog [ALC861VD Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I get the same results when I comment out the first options line and the sound file looks like: #options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 # u1Nb.cOzUFd_gaWF:82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo Thanks in advance for any help!
